The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in partnership with Miami International Airport (MIA) and participating airlines, has announced the launch of TSA PreCheck Touchless ID at Miami International Airport’s concourses D, E, and H.
Utilising advanced facial comparison technology; TSA PreCheck Touchless ID aims to expedite traveller identification, with results typically taking seconds.
Passengers are required to look into a camera whilst a live photo is matched against their stored passport, eliminating the need for physical documents.
Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava said:TSA’s launch of PreCheck Touchless ID at three of MIA’s busiest checkpoints is the latest state-of-the-art initiative that is streamlining and simplifying the travel experience for our customers. TSA PreCheck Touchless ID at MIA follows the full modernisation of TSA Checkpoint 2 just three months ago, with the newest bag screening and bin return technology in the industry designed to be 30% faster than the traditional checkpoint lane.
These customer service enhancements and other recent modernisations are coming just in time for the busy spring travel season, making the travel journey at MIA more seamless than ever before.
Currently, TSA PreCheck is available to members flying with the following airlines at these MIA concourses:
- Concourse D (Checkpoint 1): American Airlines
- Concourse E (Checkpoint 5): American Airlines and Alaska Airlines
- Concourse H (Checkpoint 8): Delta Air Lines and United Airlines
In order to use TSA PreCheck Touchless ID; eligible passengers must opt in via their airline’s app or profile and ensure that their TSA PreCheck Known Traveler Number and all valid passport information are on file.
